Good day, it’s an amazing time time to be here, as this is my first post on this community and first post since I haven’t been able to post on Steemit for a while now for academic reasons but I’m glad to be here again.
MY DREAM UNIVERSITY BEYOND THE CURRENT UNIVERSITY
I don’t know if this is how everyone at high school feels but I actually lost in my final year at high school, I didn’t know which university I wanted to go after high school, my colleagues was just naming the popular and big Universities in Ghana here and even have books that they learn more about those Universities.
But do you know why I was lost, yes you’re right, I never think of attending University in Ghana but abroad and I was having three Universities in mind, Harvard University, Stanford University and MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology).

Why this Universities, because I believe they are best in what I wanted to pursue in my next journey, Computer Science or Information Technology but guess what, I see myself as an average but yet still I keep on trying and because of that I didn’t go to school right after High School.
After checking the requirements and fees of this schools I realized it’s not going to be easy for me unless I have a scholarship but that was something I didn’t know how I’ll get it, I felt dumb lol, I said I’m not even a good student to be awarded a scholarship so I have to leave my dream University and focus on those around me that will be better and that my parents can afford to pay.
CURRENT UNIVERSITY
University For Development Studies (UDS), a University I never even wanted to visit nor stepping in lol, which has four campuses, in which two campuses decided to stand on its on, and one offers the courses I wanted to purse and so right after that, a friend who was already attending this school told me it’s a new University now, actually I didn’t understand what he meant but I just applied and a few weeks or a month later I go admission in to CK TEDAM UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY AND APPLIED SCIENCES (CKT-UTAS) formally UNIVERSITY FOR DEVELOPMENT STUDIES (UDS).
So I said well I believe this is what the Lord has planned for me and I can’t change anything lol even when I didn’t wanted to attend that school lol.
But it has been great time being in this institution, but you know as a new institution, there’s always challenges but trust me if the Management are able to overcome this, the University will be one of the best Universities in Ghana because already we started winning awards. This school gave me the chance to know what I really wanted to be in the world of technology.
But nevertheless, I still have my dream Universities in mind and I never stop applying for those schools, my only problem is the fees and accommodations and I know I will one day get there maybe at least pursuing my Masters program. That’s just the dream.
CONCLUSION
We all have our favorite especially when it comes to being in the right institution but for some reason, we were not able to get there, it’s not the end of the world, at least we had chance to another which made us even better, we just don’t have to give up on what we need.

It must be really hard picking one from these three universities as they are all promising.
But assuming you were given the opportunity which would you go for
Surely you can attend all three at once
